The Chosen Kept Man

"That bastard is unbelievably shameless!"

With Milia Falina's power, Liu Qinzhong had sparked a civil war in the Elf Kingdom.

He had also taken advantage of the opportunity to frantically farm related missions.

His accumulated points had now surpassed 1,000.

That was 500 more than Lu Hongrong, who ranked third.

But Qu Xianghua was close behind him.

"That guy actually disguised himself as a Pig Beastfolk and infiltrated the Beastfolk Kingdom."

"And he even became the consort of the current Beastfolk Queen..."

Although the Elves occupied the Elf Kingdom and rarely interacted with the outside world,

they had still heard about such major developments.

The current Beastfolk Queen was the Beast God's daughter and the symbol of legitimate Beastfolk rule.

Yet she had suddenly announced her marriage a few months ago.

The groom was a Pig Beastfolk named Qu Xianghua.

The moment Liu Qinzhong heard the name Qu Xianghua, he knew it had to be his old friend.

"Don't let those thick brows and big eyes fool you..."

"He's absolutely full of rotten tricks."

"I wonder if that Beastfolk Queen has fur all over her body."

"And whether she looks especially fierce."

He had heard that the previous Beast God came from the Gorilla Beastfolk.

That meant the Beastfolk Queen was a female gorilla.

"He actually managed to get it up for a female gorilla..."

"Respect! Respect!"

"He really is the Chosen Kept Man!"

Qu Xianghua had 900 points and was his greatest threat.

"But... the benefits I've gained aren't limited to a few points."

During the Elf civil war, many prisoners had been taken.

Liu Qinzhong had taken custody of those prisoners.

He had preached among them and spread his faith.

Through this method, he had gained an additional three thousand Elf believers.

And that number was still rapidly rising.

"My Divine Domain can support up to 380,000 Elf believers."

"The Elf Kingdom has five million Elves."

"Even if only one-tenth become my believers,"

"that would still exceed that limit!"

Since childhood,

he had never heard of any high school student whose number of believers had reached their Divine Domain's limit.

Even if most of them were merely shallow believers,

it was still an incredible achievement.

"And there's Milia Falina..."

Although Milia Falina was a Demigod, she was not a Demigod in the usual sense of a divine being.

How could the previous Elf Goddess, who had feared her so greatly, possibly have given her such an opportunity?

Her strength had reached the Demigod level, granting her Demigod status.

In other words, she was equivalent to a Demigod-level Hero Unit.

If he could persuade Milia Falina to become his Hero Unit,

then even if he lost first place,

he would still be the greatest winner of this test.

A Demigod-level Hero Unit.

It would not be enough to elevate him to the level of the nation's top scorer in the College Entrance Examination.

Every College Entrance Examination produced Demigod candidates.

Sometimes, there were even Demigod candidates who advanced perfectly.

Though they all belonged to divine families,

ordinary Demigod divine families and the families of established Main Gods and God Kings

were entirely different social classes.

Still, securing admission to one of the nation's top universities and becoming Huangshan's top scorer in the College Entrance Examination would not be a problem.

"Chen Changhe... can you even do it?"

Liu Qinzhong wore a smug expression.

Only the top ten scores appeared on the rankings.

Since Liu Qinzhong had never seen Chen Changhe's name,

that proved he was stronger than Chen Changhe.

"Either Chen Changhe suffered devastating losses during the previous stage and still hasn't recovered."

After all, five thousand Blazing Crocodile Dragons were no ordinary opponents.

Even he could only surrender immediately.

Chen Changhe had fought the Blazing Crocodile Dragons for so long that he had likely already lost his ability to fight.

"Or he used some special method before and only then got first place in the first stage."

Now that they had reached the second stage, his true colors had finally been revealed.

No matter which was the case,

"this Chen Changhe is utterly foolish."

"He wasted his potential in advance just for an empty reputation."

"He's nothing to worry about!"

"The principal's praise may have just been empty courtesy."

"I overthought it!"

Liu Qinzhong immediately felt much more relaxed.

For them, the upcoming College Entrance Examination was what truly mattered.

Everything else could be ignored.

"It seems I should get in touch with Qu Xianghua."

It would be ideal if they could form an alliance of the strong.

The Elf Kingdom and the Beastfolk Kingdom were both major powers in this plane.

They ranked only below the Human Kingdom and the Sea Folk.

If the two of them could help one another, they could undoubtedly crush all the other students with ease.

Third Middle School had a good atmosphere, and they were all students of Third Middle School.

They could not bring themselves to ruthlessly attack each other.

Besides, Zheng Dongfeng was watching from outside.

Even if they wanted to, they would have no opportunity.

But as long as the lives of other students were not involved,

Zheng Dongfeng would not interfere.

"As long as the two of us join forces, we can easily force the others out of this plane one by one."

"Once only the two of us remain, we can compete against each other and decide the final champion."

Qu Xianghua was a smart man.

He certainly would not refuse.

At that very moment, in the Beastfolk Kingdom,

Qu Xianghua was embracing a beautiful woman on a bed.

The rumpled sheets were enough to prove how intense the battle had just been.

"I never expected my luck, Qu Xianghua's luck, to be this good. I picked up an orphan girl at the start, and she turned out to be the future Beastfolk Queen—and even became my wife."

He gently kissed the lips of the Beastfolk Queen, Anna Cayutz, whose body had gone limp like mud.

Feeling the warmth of Qu Xianghua's lips, Anna Cayutz slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze still carrying traces of confusion.

Then, as Qu Xianghua made his next move, a fresh flush spread across her cheeks, which had only recently faded from pink.

The two of them returned once more to a battlefield filled with raging flames.

Qu Xianghua moved with ease and pressed forward step by step. Compared with Anna Cayutz, who was merely a young girl,

Qu Xianghua, with his thick brows and big eyes, could be considered a veteran in matters of love.

This was not an evenly matched battle at all, but a completely one-sided crushing victory.

Before long, Anna Cayutz raised the white flag and was utterly defeated.

Although she was the previous Beast God's daughter, Anna Cayutz, who possessed half-human blood, did not resemble a Gorilla Beastfolk in the slightest.

Compared with ordinary members of the Gorilla Beastfolk, she was smaller, less muscular, and lacked their thick body hair.

For that reason, the former Beast God, Anton Cayutz, had never favored her.

She had even been sent to the Human Kingdom as a hostage and had not returned to the Beastfolk Kingdom for more than ten years.

But precisely because of that, when the former Beast God Anton Cayutz's Divine Domain was destroyed, she had not, like her brothers and sisters,

become a burial offering for the former Beast God Anton Cayutz.

As the former Beast God Anton Cayutz's only surviving child, she had been welcomed back to the Beastfolk Kingdom and inherited its throne.

However, on the journey back to the Beastfolk Kingdom, a shipwreck had destroyed her vessel.

She had drifted onto a deserted island, where she encountered Qu Xianghua, who was disguised as a Pig Beastfolk.

Later, she became Qu Xianghua's wife, and the two of them were welcomed back to the Beastfolk Kingdom together.
